The female reproductive
system

2. FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The female reproductive system is made up of the internal and external sex organs that function in the
reproduction of new offspring. In humans, the female reproductive system is immature at birth and develops
to maturity at puberty to be able to produce gametes, and to carry a fetus to full term. The internal sex
organs are the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The female reproductive tract includes the
vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes and is prone to infections. The vagina allows for sexual intercourse and
childbirth, and is connected to the uterus at the cervix. The uterus or womb accommodates the embryo
which develops into the fetus. The uterus also produces secretions which help the transit of sperm to the
fallopian tubes, where sperm fertilize egg cells produced by the ovaries. The external sex organs are also
known as the genitals and these are the organs of the vulva including the labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening.
During the menstrual cycle, the ovaries release an ovum, which transits through the fallopian tube into the
uterus. If an egg cell meets with sperm on its way to the uterus, a single sperm cell can enter and merge
with it, fertilizing it into a zygote.

3. PARTS OF THE
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM

4. 01
The vagina is a fibromuscular
canal leading from the outside of
the body to the cervix of the uterus
or womb. It is also referred to as the
birth canal in the context of
pregnancy.

5. 02
The cervix is the neck of the
uterus, the lower, narrow portion
where it joins with the upper part of
the vagina.

6. 03
The uterus or womb is the major
female reproductive organ. The
uterus provides mechanical
protection, nutritional support, and
waste removal for the developing
embryo and fetus

7. 04
The Fallopian tubes are two tubes
leading from the ovaries into the
uterus. On maturity of an ovum, the
follicle and the ovary's wall rupture,
allowing the ovum to escape and enter
the Fallopian tube.

8. 05
The ovaries are small, paired
organs located near the lateral walls of
the pelvic cavity. These organs are
responsible for the production of the
egg cells and the secretion of
hormones.

9. The female reproductive system functions to reproduce
offspring.
In the absence of fertilization, the ovum will eventually
traverse the entire reproductive tract from the fallopian
tube until exiting the vagina through menstruation.
How does it function?

10. thats all thank you : )
